Hello! My name is Marina! A friend I met on the plane to Brazil calls me "the little explorer. " I think she's right! I am passionate about travel, nature, art, and architecture, drawn to everything that is different from me, everything that is foreign and unknown. Twenty years ago, thanks to the international exchange program Erasmus, I discovered France and immediately fell in love with it. After completing my undergraduate studies in Rome, I seized the opportunity to pursue art history studies at the renowned Ecole du Louvre in Paris. I arrived in Paris full of hope and with the determination to stay! And so, between ups and downs, love and challenges, I spent 13 years in the most romantic capital in the world. I knew Paris like the back of my hand, but as I love adventure, discovering new places, and embracing new challenges, I made the decision to move to the south of France, to Nice, the city where my two best friends from Paris had relocated! Nice was a heartwarming experience for me! I felt like I was back in my hometown, Formia, nestled between the sea and the mountains, just like Nice. As soon as I unpacked my bags in my new apartment, I said to myself, "Why didn't I move here sooner?" The architecture, colors, mild climate, vegetation, blue sky, sea, and mountains - everything reminds me of Italy at every moment. I feel like I'm enjoying the best of both cousin countries! So I started anew here, and even though it's not always easy, all I have to do is look at the horizon of the sea to remind myself of these encouraging words from Victor Hugo: "The horizon underlines the infinite!" There are a thousand and one possibilities in every moment of life, and with each passing moment, I want to open up my life more and more, live intensely, and savor every emotion. That's what I want to share with you - not just stories and anecdotes. Thank you! MBA in Art history Tour Guide License I am not a driver.

Marina is a true delight and I recommend her highly. Bright, witty, enthusiastic, knowledgeable. Paces tour to the needs of the client. Was fun to spend half a day with her. Very good job!
We learned so much on this tour about Chagall’s life, the paintings and symbolism within the paintings. We also learned about his love for mosaics and stained glass windows. If you love art we highly recommend this tour for you.

Thank you it was my pleasure to introduce you the life and art of Marc Chagall !
Marina was excellent. We customized this tour based on some specifics and Marina did an excellent job. She was waiting for us at the time we met so there was no problems finding her. We had hired a car for the day and she easily communicated with our driver. This worked out perfectly as she toured us around and then had the driver meet us. We got an excellent tour of...
